SERIOUS CHARGES
or Discrimination In Favor of the Standard
OIL Company.


Oil Company.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-George Rice,
OF Marietta, Ohio, an oil manufacturer and
dealer, files formidable series of COM
plants against varions railroads, charging
the imposition Of rates, which are unjust
and unreasonable in themselves, the impo-
sition of rates upon his products greater
than is put upon the Standard
Oil Company under similar
circumstances and conditions; discrmina-
tion in favor of the Standard Oil Company
in hauling its cars and charging for less
than actual weight, while complainant 8
cars are always charged at full actual
weights, and discrimination is made in
favor of the Standard Oil Company in fur
nishing Oil cars, when the same are refused
to complainant. All the averments are
suhstantiated by explicit statements of fact,
giving rates, time and place.
These alleged Determinations complain
ant declares have had and were designed to
have the effect to give the Standard Oil
Company an almost complete monopoly of
the traffic in oils. The following are the
roads complained OF: Louisville and
Nashville, Illinois Central, Mobile and
Ohio, Newport News and Mississippi
Valley and Louisville, New Orleans and
Texas, Texas Pacific and Alabama Great
Southern, Mississippi and Tennessee, East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and the
st. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern.

VIII One Dollar Per Hen Pay

Its usually conceded that II q large
flock be kept, each hen may be expected to
pay 81 profit. Will this sum pay? To
gain information in that direction let us
essimate for 100 hens. The value Of the
ooops may be placed at 800. the coss Of
the food sl25, and the vslue OF the hens
themselves at s75, or total OF $500.
Estimating AT one dollar from each hen,
we have SO I-3 per cent profit on the in
vestmsnt But, Of course. what is termed
profit is that which is over and above the
total cost and the actual percentage can
not be arrived al until the fall results Of
IN entire year can be computed and com
pared. and /, il advisable. therefore, for
ali 10 keep strict accounts.

oarIbaIdi's old Home at caprera.

The yet unpublished story of Garibaldi's
life as told by himself, says a writer who
has seen the manuscript, is "a simple
record of facts, having nothing in com
mon with the generals crude attempts at
novel writing or his declarations against
priests and tyrants." The same writer
says that "Garibaldi's bedroom in his lit
tie house at Caprera is left just as when
he died, only his sword of 1860 hangs
over it, while in what was once the
dining room are carefully preserved all
the commemorative offerings brought or
sent during the last five years-a very
hecatomb of crowns and garlands,
wreaths or fresh flowers, bronze shields,
curiously carved medallions, portraits of
fallen braves, inscriptions innumerable.
All roundt the house this summer time the
garden is ablaze with flowers, the scarlet
%geraniums lu%xuriating in such immense
masses that one might imagine IN army
of red shirts bivouacking there.-St.

Dom Pedro's PsouIiarities.

While am on the subject of dinners, I
may mention one of Dom Pedro's pecu-
liarities. He eats very, very rapidly, and
when he is in his own palace he talks con-
tinually to his guests, or rather continu-
ally questions them, SO hat they have the
opportunity to open their mouths-only
to reply.
1t is related that once he invited the
representative of a great country to ac-
company him when he opened a new
railroad. After the ceremony Dom Pedro
and his guest were to lunch at the buffet
of the railway station. Hardly had they
taken their places than the emperor
finished and was on his way to the train.
The starving ambassador, who had not
tasted a mouthful, was determined not to
be deprived of his repast, and, as he fol-
lowed, filled his pockets with cakes,
crackers and fruits that he ate in secret
while taking his seat in the car.-New
York Mail and Express.
, 1887-09-01

The car has recently issued a decree
which has increased the rigor of the pass
port system in his vast dominions, and
has made it harder than aver for foreign
ers to travel in Russia, and for Russians
to go abroad, or even to move about from
place to place in their own country. BY
this decree foreigners entering Russia
have to pay larger fees than before, a
fresh fee being required at every new
sojourning place. But it bears with
greater hardship upon those Russians, or
foreign residents, who desire to travel
beyond the Russian frontier. Every one
thus wishing to leave Russia, temporar-
lily, must pay $15 for his passport in the
first place; and he cannot go a step
without it. The passport, moreover, is
limited to n fixed period of a few weeks;
and if its holder remains away from
home beyond that period, he must pay a
certain sum to the Russian officials for
every additional day of absence, amount
ing to about s~eventy-five cents. Such a
tax is easily borne by the rich Russian
landowner, who wishes to visit Berlin or
Paris, but it is a %grievous burden upon
the clerks and commercial travellers,
whose business compels them to travel to
and fro at greater or less intervals. The

End of the Japanese Fashions.

"Strange world this" observed-a de-
signer of and dealer in feminine flnery to
a reporter the other day.
'fWhat new eccentricity has it been
guilty Off"
81 was thinking particularly of the
change in women's fashions" replied the
merchant. "Some years G we will re-
collect the Japanese craze which ragged in
this country. A more charming fashion
never was designed, and you have no idea
what a change it affected in the style of
dress. TIL soft silk, wound in graceful
folds, presented a most pleasing contrast
to the puffs, flutings and pleats of the
old fashion, and u designers found a
new field of art opened up to them. Not
only did the Japanese craze affect dresses,
but home decorations as well, and for
once style and beauty were joined to-
gether.
The Japanese have decided to discard
their time honored fashions. The empress
of Japan has issued an order a~bolishing
the native costumes and substituting for
them the latest Partisan styles. That the
Japanese, who are nothing If not artistic,
should set themselves in this cold blooded
way to blot out one of the most delightful
and picturesque features of the whole
national life is incredible, unnatural and
exasperating. 1t is vandalism; it Is
sacrilege; it is senseless mimicry; it is
everything that Is bad, and l am cast
down and disguised. 1 tell you, young
man, the world is growing more foolish
every day, and it takes a wiser man than
myself to tell where its idiocy will end. -

The THUGS OF yAsALeus.


Ameer Ais 700 Murders-A Prisoner
Shows How the strangiing Was Done.
The theory that every man wears on
his c-ountenance the stamp of his nature
is true only within certain limits. Many
Of the great criminals whom / have seen
bore in their faces a terrible warming of
what they were; but with the thugs of
Jabalpur it is not SO. These human
vampires who nov gather round me,
every one of whom has taken more lives
than any public executioner in Europe,
are to the outward eye a set of quiet,
slouching, meager old men, who might
be a gang of beggars, a group Of harm
less village folk, a party of superannu-
ated native workmen, or anything on
earth but what they really are.
That's the chief" whispers my
guide, pointing to a small, lean, gray
beard with a white turban, who is sitting
before the nearest hut, rocking a child on
his knee, and stroking its thin little brown
face with the hand that has shed the
blood of his fellow man like water.
Ask him." / rejoined, show many
murders he has committed"
A ~momentary CLEAN of cunning
wrinkles in the sunken eyes. The old
tiger is evidently suspicious, and stands
on his guard.
Il cannot tell, ~ he with an
indifference which, under such circum-
stances, has in it something indescrib-
ably ghastly; 81 didn't keep count of
them beyond a hundred"
Pretty well, mutters the inspector.
''but Col. Taylor s prisoner, Ameer Ali,
owned to 7O0."
He must have been a nice young
man, that Ameer ALL" 1 observed.
"You remember his saying: I'VE finally
decided to murder the men directly after
our evening prayers
Just her 1 noticed that the line of
novels had a gap in it every here and
there, as if a hut had fallen or been
pulled down, and the inspector tells me,
with a look of unwonted awe upon his
bold, bluff face, that whenever one of
these wretches dies his house is instantly
RACED to the ground, as if to efface his
very memory from the earth.
"Now, before we CO." 1 said to u
conductor, 81 mean to see for myself
how the strangling was done. Oblige me
by telling this man to put his moose round
my wrist, for l don't care to trust him
with my throat"
The savage eagerness with which the
"ltlleTeu OIu SheleIOn ODeyS IHe Call-aS
if filled with fresh life ever by the make
believe show of MURDERS fearful to
see. Knotting a small coin into the cor
ner of his handkerchief to give him n
sure hold, he slips the moose round my
arm, and then, bringing his knuckles to-
gether with a sudden twist, gives my
wrist a squeeze that almost makes the
bones crack.
The awful change that passes over his
face at that moment battles all descrip-
ton. His dull, filmy eyes seem to blaze
with hellfre, his sharp white teeth are
laid bare in a wolfish grin, his shriveled,
corpse like features culver with a Zero
cious joy 80 fiendish that an actual demon
starting up before men could scarcely be
more appalling. The thought of that
face bending over some helpless man in
the gloomy depths of the forest, just as
the fatal moose frightened, is altogether
too much for my nerves, and it is with a
long breath of relief that I find myself

Some German national dishes claim a
long and honorable descent-for ex-
ample, the famous Rosse or Knodeln.
With us, instead Of having refined these,
we have had them handed down in the
form of provincial dumplings, unwel-
come and indigestible, these heavy
masses having no connection with the
good old Saxon light and delicate Klosse.
Their chief ingredients were always eggs,
bread ~coarsely ground, meat and fish.
In later periods potatoes, rice and other
vegetables have furnished varieties. The
bread used for them must be light, with
out crust, either grated, crumbled or
soaked in cold water or milk; they must
be lightly handled, the fingers dipped in
water while forming them into balls the
size of an egg. Lay them apart, put
them into gently boiling soup, water or
milk, wet the spoon as each one is
dropped, in chives, onions, parsley or
spice. All Klosse must be served hot
